●Perfume

A perfume is the invisible,but extraordinary and crucial fashion accessory.We think our fragrance will add luster to our appearance and at the same time people around us would enjoy the experience.But that’s not always right.People around us may not like the perfume or cologne we are wearing.Someone sitting around us at a restaurant may be asthmatic or allergic to our scent! How can we identify the quantity of perfume is appropriate? When someone applies too much perfume or cologne,you will smell a fragrance but not their signature scent.Your perfume scent should not make a statement by itself.Applying perfume or cologne should be done in a way allowing the fragrance to interact with your body chemistry to produce your personalized version of the scent—your signature scent.

Where to apply the perfume or cologne is one of the secrets of having proper perfume etiquette you should learn.Perfume can interact with your body chemistry without disrupting the environment around you,and it is the best that your fragrance scent is subtle enough that only people close to you can get a hint.If the fragrance makes people sneeze,that absolutely means you applied too much perfume.

The most important rule for perfume etiquette is to firstly select a perfume suitable for your age and character.Now most perfumes are suited especially for more mature women,while there are not enough choices for teenage girls.Therefore if you fail to choose the corresponding option to yourself,you are making a big mistake as you definitely won’t like it nor will it be accepted.A perfect perfume is one that marks your private stamp on people’s minds and one that will always remind them of only you.So young ladies should stop sharing your mother’s perfume and get your own.

It is also very inappropriate to apply a very strong loud scent in the morning.If you do this,you will have just violated everybody’s personal smelling vicinity,irritated every nostril and left no room for anyone to consider admiring your perfume.So,it is good manners to apply a less energetic perfume for the morning and maybe a little sophisticated one for the night.

One of the common pitfalls that a lady should avoid,if she wants to leave an impression,is applying the same scent for every occasion no matter what it is.But some occasions,like a cocktail party,a meeting with one or two people,and a day at the office,a corporate event,demand a little sophistication.So go with a delicate scent that does not yank an unwary nostril out of its peaceful reverie.But if you want to get noticed at a wedding,a party or on a night of clubbing,you need go with something stronger,but nothing too loud,unless this kind of image is just what you really want to project!

Using too much is the worst perfume etiquette,especially if you plan to spend your day in a closed meeting-room if you schedule a workout in a steaming aerobic studio,because in such cases the overwhelming smell of you will upset everyone around you.To avoid falling into this ditch,first only use a minimal amount.You always have time and chance to add more through the day when it wears off,but if you over do it once for all you will have to be overpowering in scent the whole day.

Bring it to mind in this way,you would like your fragrance to delight yourself most of all,or those who get closest to you.If it goes beyond your half-meter personal space,it perhaps means that you applied a bit more than you should.Don’t overdo applying your favorite perfume,remember while applying that you easily tend to overdo because your noses have gotten used to the fragrance,but that doesn’t mean that it is not there.So keep in mind: less is always more.

Obviously,you all know that to reapply perfume in order to keep an all day attractive scent.This rule is tricky though because you might be wearing too strong of a scent that would remain a long time.In such case,constant re-application may be not good for you and actually it can become a perfume disaster because you might end up irritating everyone around you with your intense scent.

There is definitely no need to reapply or even apply your perfume at the moment you are going to your aerobics class in three or fours hours,even it was the smallest of scents.Workout can intensify the power of your cologne because the rising body’s temperature diffuses your vapors into the air.This may drive everyone around choky in such non-aerated space.Some people rely on some energizing perfumes made particularly for the workout,but you can not guarantee that everyone in your class will like it.

You should be very careful when applying perfume or cologne on your clothes.Even if your garments will keep the scent of your perfume,they can also get stained.Another point is that your clothing does not have the chemicals that come out through your skin to interact with the fragrance; so you will smell like the perfume itself instead of your unique version of it.At times we may want to use a different perfume or cologne and wear an item of clothing that smells different—that could be a bummer when you have your heart set on wearing a certain outfit!

Applying perfume in public is extremely bad manners.You should always apply in a restroom,but it is preferable to do it in your own private space like at home or in your car.You won’t upset anyone’s allergies or atmosphere this way.
